Tour itinerary
Day 1 - Day 1: 12 November 2025 WELCOME!
Transfer to your hotel and meet with your fellow knitters and your guide! After having a brief tour induction, we take a guided tour of the most recognisable of all Barcelona’s architecture. La Sagrada Família is one of Gaudí's most famous works in Barcelona. It's a giant Basilica that has been under construction since 1882 (yes you read that correctly!) and it's not expected to be completed for some time yet. Gaudí played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Família until his death in 1926. He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However today, because of the nature of the existing designs, his work is partly open to interpretation. A piece of living history and you will be a part of it!
Afterwards, enjoy a Meet & Greet with Carol Feller who will introduce you to the topics that will be covered in her classes. This evening, join your fellow tour participants for a Cast On Party and Welcome Reception where you will get the chance to exchange ideas and build excitement for the days ahead!
